Question

2 how was segregation similar to slavery? a they were both racist systems that discriminated against african americans b they were both established in the united states constitution c they both ended after the u.s. civil war d they both ended during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s

Explanation:

• Option A: Slavery and segregation were both racist systems. Slavery enforced the ownership of African Americans, and segregation (like Jim Crow laws) discriminated against them in various aspects (housing, education, public facilities).
• Option B: Slavery was recognized in the original Constitution (with compromises), but segregation was enforced by state laws, not established in the Constitution.
• Option C: Slavery ended after the Civil War, but segregation continued well after (until the Civil Rights Movement).
• Option D: Slavery ended after the Civil War, while segregation was challenged and largely ended during the Civil Rights Movement.

So, the correct answer is A as both were racist systems targeting African Americans.

Answer:

A. They were both racist systems that discriminated against African Americans
